Scarves Chiffon (mousseline) scarves

[Anfang]

My fellow moussies, I am so happy to announce that I am twins with D Lee on cw 01 of the Ors Bleus D'Afrique 140 cm mousse!! It takes my breath away and the changeant is AMAZING! This cw is very "fun" with the pops of chartreuse and neons, but the primary fuchsia and turquoise colors I will happily wear all year-round.

Here are some pictures which of course do not truly capture the magic of the changeant (fuchsia to turquoise). I find the border color very unusual - I am not sure what color it is but it matches Crevette IRL, definitely a peachy orange.

I am so glad the Ors mousse has finally arrived in the US -- eagerly awaiting sightings of other cws from other TPFers!!

Wow wow wow ! This is TDF !

I got a call from my SA & really thought 'my' Karnac has arrived, only to be told it would arrive probably in autumn. But still, I went to the boutique & picked up the new long-awaited Afrique & quadrige moussies. Sth was very wrong with my cellphone camera & I have decided to photograph the quadrige stole when I have dug up my camera. So only the lousy Afrique pictures for now!

Thank you so much for these pics ! The fact that you mentioned it was changeant totally enabled me. It's interesting that it is not noted on the tag. Changeants are my favorite and so hard to find.

Mine's on the way!

Congratulations! U won't regret your choice. But u have to be extra careful with changeants. Some tpfers mentioned that changeants are particularly thin. I just found out that the creases remain longer on the changeant than on the non-changeant variety. Nevertheless, I agree that changeants are so ethereal!

Hi sbelle,
I have never seen this cw. I would have grabbed this in a sec if I had seen this one. This is ideal for spring! Must talk to SA to see if they are available at local boutiques. Thx for sharing!

Such a gorgeous cw of this stole. You chose it very well! Beautiful contrast and is a great cousin with one cw (S02 fuchsia/turquoise/bleu) of the 90cm format!

I am curious to see if this particular changeant is thinner the ones I already have. Also, does it seem to you all that changeants are usually in the same colors? I.e., pink to blue or vice versa? I do have one that is deep purple to green. I know that it is basically two different colored threads going opposite directions but the prevalence of the same colors in most changeants makes me think that particular colors lend themselves to the changeant process.

I have no idea how H chooses colors to be changeants. I love changeants but I am so worried about damaging the extra-thin scarves.

For me, it was difficult taking pictures of moussie's. Had them on bed, and tried with curtains both drawn and not drawn. These pictures do not do these moussie's justice.

Here are some notes:
1) Chasse En Inde - 01 purple. I think a particularly pretty stole

2) Coup de Fouet - this picture is deceptive. If you are a "spring" or have green in your eyes, the chartreuse should make those eyes pop. I think the shawl photographed, "dull" but it is not - it looks better on, than in a picture - I guess you would say it "ties well".

3) Pink Flots - this is the stole which is advertised on the Hermes site. The truest picture is the one with the tag. It is bright

4) Blue Flots - I was not going to get the blue - had the pink Glad I did it is a very pretty scarf. Much brighter and livlier than picture.

5) Chasse Lipstick corail prune (06) - pictures do not do this scarf justice. Truest picture is the picture with the tag

6) Quadrige - 06 this has been posted before, my pic is relatively useless

7) Quadrige - 02 Azur/Kaki/Petrol the kaki seems to show my eyes (greenish) Again, relatively useless pic.

8) Chasse 5 The Blue Jean Mauve this is a beauty which pictures do not do justice
It has a lavendar, grey, beigey, peachey tone with that beautiful pink border - IMO it is a sophisticated stole, but yet so sweet with that pink border.

9) Soie Polo - very pretty Blue Lac Vert 05. Very pretty combo o greens and blues,
a very happy stole.

Sorry my pictures were so limited, and this is not really organized. I have limitations re: technology and for me it is a challenge to capture the magic of moussie's . Hope this was a little helpful, and not a frustration, best, Bonnie

Your photos are good, Bonnie - mousselines are so difficult to photograph but so gorgeous to look at! Yesterday I saw both the blue jean and the purple Chasse en Inde - I have never been a huge fan of that pattern, but I fell instantly in love with those two. The colors are particularly lovely. Sounds like you have a lovely mousse collection - congratulations!!

Wow, what a beauty. I am particularly partial to this pattern and have two of the twills. I would lick floors for one of these mousseline beauties. My boutique still doesn't have them and the SAs give me a funny look as if I am making the whole thing up. I'm going to head back in with updated info!! This is stunning - enjoy it!!

I love this pattern and this cw is absolutely TDF. I adore changeants and really want to add some of them. The hunt is on!! Enjoy this beauty!!

Please advise. It seems that several months ago Mai Tai showed a picture of the window at FSH which contained the Cheval du Karnac (I hope that is correct). I think it was a GM size shawl in green (light) with accents that looked rust-ish, orangey, etc. I believe that this shawl was included in the list of 2013 SS Mousellines. Does anyone have any info re: this shawl.
Help please, I see where it was just listed as a silk on the Hermes web site. thanks, best, bonnie

Hi Bonnie,
My SA called me yesterday & I finally picked up what I had been waiting for for almost 2 months. This is Chevaux de Karnak 342731cw9 Fuchsia jaune/orange/canard. Is this what u have been looking for? My SA said other cws are coming so u can always wait if this is not the color u want. Good luck!
